I've been using the makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC function to retrieve ensembl genes from UCSC for over two years as part of our RNA-Seq expression profiling pipeline. Suddenly, last week, it started generating the following error:
> txdb <- makeTranscriptDbFromUCSC(genome="hg19", tablename="ensGene")
Warning message:
In .local(.Object, ...) : NAs introduced by coercion
Error in genome(ucscCart(x)) :
error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function 'genome': Error in matrix(unlist(pairs), nrow = 2) :
'data' must be of a vector type
Has anyone seen this? Any idea why it just started happening and how to fix it?
